So I first had bleeding at 5weeks 6days,I had a scan at 6weeks 2/3days and everything was all good! I then had a very heavey bleed at 7weeks 2days with big lumpy blood clots,again I had a scan a few days later and everything was okay. I have to wear a uniform and the doctors had no idea why I kept on bleeding and had said it could be internal bleeding,I didn't wear my skirt for a few days and no bleed but no doubt I got told it had to go back on or I would be sent home even though I had told them what the doctors said! I have now been bleeding two days very light but bright red and a lot of pain,I'm booking in with my GP tomorrow and will be 9weeks pregnant on Friday. I just feel like the hospital will think I'm waisting their time but it's what I should be doing right?:(

You should definitely be going to check if you're bleeding. My best friend had massive bleeds with clots every couple of weeks and had ultrasounds when they happened and the babies were fine and are now a month old and just perfect. You may just be one of those people who bleed a lot but are fine, it's just a massive worry! Xxx

You are not waisting the hospitals time. This is what it's there for. If you weren't pregnant and kept bleeding like this then surely you wouldn't be in any doubt about going to the docs and a+e. You are pregnant so you have all the more reason. This is why they have an early pregnancy unit. Don't worry about using the services that are offered to you. Use them as much as you feel you need to! Better to be safe than sorry. A good midwife would prefer to see you everyday to ensure all is well. Than to not see you at all and have you worrying that something is wrong. X
